Do you remember being forced to drink water before PT?
Who could forget lol
What would happen, especially downrange, if you did not drink water before PT?
I still do lol
Perhaps you drank it after PT...if you survived
You would be stupid dehydrated during
Water is a necessity to survive, especially in that kind of context
And weaker for not doing it after
So how did those apes survive the environment requiring better cognitive abilities, if it would take millions of years to evolve those abilities?
Gradual moving north
The answer is that they couldn't.
Or small leaps in innovation that led to much greater ability.
Are there any examples of these apes with these smaller or greater ability?
The one that could do sign language doesn't count
Intelligence cant be gauged from a fossil
Are there any living examples? Or do you assume nobody stayed behind along the way?
Am I racist if I say black people
Lolol
But in how the different races are I would guess thats how there are living examples
Problem being that after a certain point humans became supremely mobile and able to mate with all like species
Humans are so reliant on intelligence that they could only go one direction
And only the Europeans were really a show of this superiority.
There's plenty of wealth and natural resources in Africa. It COULD have been as advanced as east Asia or America
The lesser apes as it were were those that failed to innovate and use their intelligence to its fullest
But its climate doesnt require more intelligence
Why not?
Its easier to find food, shelter is less important
Weather is mild and stable
Is that a fact, or an assumption?
Fact
The weather in North Africa is such that you will die without shelter
But the shelters are less complex
And in part due to environment, people don't live very long in Africa or the middle east
They used to be more advanced
Compared to say one that would survive in England or so
Like a mud hut wont work in england
At least not as well as wooden shelters
Mud hut doesn't really work in Africa
Then brick
I was thinking middle east for that
